Brown spokesman 'denies Roses reunion'

A spokesperson for former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown has denied recent reports that the band will reform this summer for a number of live shows.

Earlier today, it was claimed that the band would return to the stage for the first time since their split in 1996, but a representative of Brown told the Daily Mail that this was not the case.

The spokesperson said: "We know nothing about a reunion. Ian is working on his new studio album which is due out later this year."

The band's self-titled debut album is being re-released this summer to mark its 20th anniversary.
